I have been on 3 Thomson Al Fresco holidays and am due to go on my fourth back to Union Lido which is my favourite. The beauty of Union Lido is that it combines a beachfront location and a choice of swimming pools , on top of all that the beautiful city of Venice is [...]
Puy du Fou – Theme park with a difference. I decided to tell you about the Puy du Fou next. It was originally our customers who told us about this, and we took a fair amount of convincing before we succumbed. Don’t expect an Alton Towers or a Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This is a totally [...]
Here at Al Fresco, we pride ourselves on the luxury offered with our mobile homes – air con, private decking and a BBQ for peaceful family nights. So, when we saw this new ‘hotel’ craze, we wondered how to describe it in comparison… Luxurious? Extreme? Newfound six star? Or just plane over the top? The [...]

Jane and Harry have sent this week’s Animations Timetable. Not bad for low season! Jane had told me that Daisy’s animations team were working very hard to organise the weekly events, but it was only when she sent this that I realised just HOW hard. First the extract below shows this week’s timetable for “the [...]
11th-22nd May is Cannes Film Festival. Wow! We managed to take a bit of time off together, to visit the town the other day. Celebrity mayhem! Unfortunately we missed the main events, (a rep’s life is a VERY busy one), but the general atmosphere was “interesting” to say the least. The Old Harbour was bursting [...]
Chris Oplocky told us this tale about a painful beach experience…. “My husband and I were walking along a lovely Caribbean beach, both taking care not to bang our heads on the overhanging palm tree branches. My husband wasn’t looking at his feet and banged his toe hard on a tree root below! To add [...]
Gerald Heffernan discovered a fantastic beach in Tuscany on his holiday and has won a beach bag in the process.. “I recently discovered a gem of a beach at San Vincenzo, Tuscany, Italy, just a short walk from Park Albatros. It’s a great stretch of sandy shoreline with glorious views over the med. It has [...]
